Shen Xihe did not avoid him, nor did he say that he did not believe him. Instead, he nodded with a smile and then said, "Munuha, do you want to take him away, or should I?"
Xiao Huayong stroked the five-colored thread on his other hand with his fingertips: "I'll take it away."
He didn't know whether Munuha had other accomplices, and he was worried about leaving him with Shen Xihe.
Shen Xihe had no objection to hearing this. As she had just said, trust was necessary. Handing Munuha over to him was a sign of her trust in Xiao Huayong.
The two of them only separated after returning to the Princess's Mansion. She did not ask where Xiao Huayong took her.
Xiao Huayong's carriage entered the palace. When they arrived at the East Palace, Tian Yuan wanted to help him. As a frail prince, Xiao Huayong stretched out his hand out as usual, but when he saw the five-colored thread on his hand, he immediately changed his hand.
Tian Yuan had to go around to the other side for help, and then someone carried down a box. It was said that this was a Dragon Boat Festival gift from Princess Zhaoning to His Highness, but no one knew what it was, and inside was Munuha.
There was a secret room under the East Palace, but Xiao Huayong didn't know about it for more than ten years. It was only after he got the map of the secret passage in the palace from Prince Consort Wei that he realized there was a secret room in the East Palace, and he put Munuha in it just in time.
Munuha was tortured severely by Luling, but he was so stubborn that he refused to utter a single word.
After hearing this, Xiao Huayong asked, "Have the three local tigers been captured?"
The law replied: "We just caught all of them yesterday."
"Watch out, don't let anyone die easily." Xiao Huayong didn't want anyone to die easily.
"Your Highness, but there is still..."
"No need." Xiao Huayong interrupted Lu Ling.
Although Munuha was born into a noble family, he must have suffered a lot to learn his martial arts. He is a strong man, and he encountered a sudden change and was hunted all the way. It goes without saying that such a person can still have a clear mind at this moment. How tough is he? No matter how much we torture him, we will not get any information.
The next day, Xiao Huayong finished handling government affairs and was about to leave the palace to meet Shen Xihe, but was stopped by Emperor Youning: "Munuha is on the run, he is not good for Qilang, Qilang should not leave the palace recently."
"Your Majesty, I am... worried that Princess Zhaoning will be implicated because of me." Xiao Huayong insisted, "If I don't leave the palace, I will be uneasy. And it was because of me that Third Brother was poisoned yesterday. I also want to go to the Wang residence to visit him.
If the son leaves the palace, he can lead Munuha out, which may not be a bad thing. "
"Munuha must have an accomplice." Emperor Youning didn't believe that Munuha alone could get his hands on the food for the Dragon Boat Festival. The small kitchen was heavily guarded, and except for a little eunuch who was knocked unconscious in the palace, nothing was found.
This was exactly Xiao Huayong's other intention, which was to let Emperor Youning know that Munuha had an accomplice. After such a commotion, His Majesty would definitely not think that the small kitchen's tricks were done by him.
Xiao Huayong pretended not to know: "Maybe he was the one who helped him escape from Jingzhao Prefecture."
Emperor Youning turned his head and looked at Xiao Huayong: "I heard that a few days ago, you and Zhaoning were attacked by a tiger?"
"How did Your Majesty know this?" Xiao Huayong was surprised. Of course, he was the one who asked someone to leak it to Your Majesty at this time.
"How could you hide such an important matter from me? If I had known that someone was trying to harm you, how could I not have been on guard at all?" Emperor Youning condemned.
